標  題:被世界的神弄瞎心眼

經  節:此等不信之人被這世界的神弄瞎了心眼,不叫基督榮耀福音的光照著他們。基督本是神的像。(哥林多後書四章4節)

倘若你眼瞎,就算你周圍的人可以清楚地看見,你還是無法看見東西的實體,無法完全經驗周圍真實的一面。你可能覺得自己的體驗就是人生的全部,然而,你可能不知道自己正缺乏神要給你的經歷。你可能因為渾然不覺自己的盲目,而處於險境之中。

保羅警告,「世界的神」會弄瞎你的心眼,使你看不見耶穌基督真實的本體。基督的出現能夠使你的生命完全不同,但如果撒但使你對耶穌的應許生成懷疑,它會使你看不見自己生命的真實景況,與未來可能的發展。其他人可以看到你的不信造成你生命的盲點,你自己卻看不到。你的生命可能持續地朝向災禍前進,但是你卻茫然不知。

神是你的光(約翰福音一:459)。祂光照你的罪,使你看到罪惡醜陋和毀滅的一面。祂顯示祂自己,使你知道祂的榮耀及祂所賜的豐盛。祂的出現會照亮你的道路,使你看見眼前的危險。不要讓這世界的神扭曲你的屬靈視覺。不要以為事情本來就是這樣,事實上,你正錯失神在你身上的許多作為。懇求基督光照你的生命,讓你清楚看見你屬靈的真實景況。


Blinded by the God of This Age

Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do
not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the
image of God, should shine on them. (2 Corinthians 4:4)

When you are blinded, you cannot see things as they
really are, even though others around you see them clearly. You cannot
experience the full reality of all that is around you. You may feel you are
experiencing all that there is to life, yet you may be unaware that you are
missing what God desires for you. You may even be in danger because of your
blindness and not know it.

Paul warned that the “god of this age” can blind
you to the reality of Jesus Christ. Christ’s presence can make a significant
difference in your life. However, if Satan convinces you to doubt that Christ
can do what He promised, he will have blinded you to the reality of what your
life is really like and to what it could become. Others may see what your
unbelief causes you to miss, but you will be unaware of it. Your life may be
steadily moving toward disaster, but you will be oblivious to it.

Christ comes to you as light (John 1:4, 5, 9). He
illuminates your sin so that you see its ugliness and destructiveness. He
reveals Himself so that you can appreciate the glory of His person and the
marvelous riches He brings. His presence lights your path so that you can see
impending danger. Don’t let the god of this age distort your spiritual vision.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that everything is as it should be when, in fact,
you are missing out on so much that God wants to do in your life. Ask Christ to
illuminate your life and let you clearly see your spiritual condition.
